I couldnt stop playing the beta, so good.

one of the best beta's i have ever played and one of the best feeling and most gratifying FPS games i have played in a long, long long time!

After reaching level 50 in the beta and after reading a lot of comments in youtube about bf1, I learned that those who hated this were either a cod fanboy, someone who sucked at it, or haven't play it longer than 10 minutes.

I don't get it why people said it's a reskin of swbf, it may seem like it (bcs of the engine) but the gameplay doesn't even feel close. While in swbf you could go lone wolf and steal the show, here you won't. I've played a couple of round with both team that actually appreciate teamwork and ended up winning just by 2 points. and it felt satisfying. It was so intense that almost all buildings close to objective C, B, or D were always obliterated.

And for those who said it was an unbalanced game, please give me some explanation. Do elaborate. Because from what I felt, this is the closest battlefield game to bfbc2. Which is a good thing.

Op tanks? no. Gather around 3-4 assault class, get close or while in cover, that tank is done. Easy sniping? no. Every gun has that "right range" / "sweespot" mechanic, or if you spot a sniper camping, blow them up. Almost all buildings are destructible. Uneven map? Please use teamwork if you want to win. The map is fine. Gameplay was soulless? If you think that playing a war game in a map with fully destructible environment, dynamic weather, customisable weapons, rideable vehicles and warhorse is soulless. I don't know what's better then. Yes it will feel soulless if everyone in it only aim for the k/d ratio.

The only problems that I had playing the beta was probably some error in squad spawning (sometimes you can still spawn even if your squad was still in a gunfight) and the planes. They need to make the planes a bit more powerful, since planes in the beta are so weak against ground units. It's like they're only there for airborne fight.

I mostly learned to cancel my pre-order.

My favorite thing about BF1 is the equipment placements, back in bf4 you had pointless machine gun turrets and sraws turrets that had no real set up or purpose but now we have the artillery, flak gun and machine gun emplacements that are actually placed so you could defend the objective.

Here's my take :

If you think BF1 is a re-skin of Battlefront then you need to ask yourself this.
'Who made Battlefront'.

If you think Tanks are OP in the game.
Tanks aren't massive gummy bears . They're supposed to change the impact of the battle .
I'm happy they changed it because as we know in BF4 you could drop a few jeep stuff and the jobs done .

If you think this will Outsell COD.
Fine you have your opinion . But know this which game has innovated more?

If you think EA are money grabbing thieves.

Then ask yourself this .
Was it EA's idea to make a bundle game package that forced you to buy jet pack joyride to get your hands on a remaster?

No it wasn't . So ask yourself this .
Do you feel lucky punk?

Love the backup prompt

Nothing like the feeling I got when my squad appeared over the sand dunes and came galloping on horseback to defend the objective. Ah the cavalry.

Only in Battlefield.

the beta was good, the one complain though is to bring back the ticket counts which is both a better system and balances the medic

[orangypteco]

I need that dope soundtrack in the background

[wsoldier]

The beta was awesome! Definitely agree there wasn't enough anti-vehicle weapon availability for non-assault classes. k-bullets for snipers didn't seem to do much more against most vehicles than a regular bullet.

[liljacket]

Its was fun playing it without any hud. immersion levels

[Maigels]

They should bring back class identity where medics can always heal and revive and support can always give ammo.

#1 thing we learned: This is another Hardline

[yeppumm]

I found the medic rifles fairly powerful tbf. Can't remember the name but I used a 21 magazine rifle that was three shot kill. Sure the skill gap for recoil is a bit high, but I loved it

[endorbr]

Really dug the beta. I was rocking the Hell out of the artillery truck and medic class.

[daveyjoneslocker]

I think support should have the TNT. Assault keeps grenades and AT gun. That makes the classes perfect imo.

[jayasimhaarya]

This was the best beta for me so far !! Hope there will be another one soon

[giguyjoe]

If you want to know if players will welcome the behemoth vehicles or not, just look at the AC-130 in BF3.
